“If you lost your legs to an IED or a landmine or whatever kind of injury, you have to go back to veterans affairs every year just to show them your legs haven’t grown back. There’s aspect of this that are just borderline, you can’t make it up, it’s ridiculous.”

Now branches across the country are standing in solidarity to take a stand for veteran compensation and let their voices be heard.

Rockwell adds you don’t have to be a veteran to be outraged by the mistreatment.

“What we want as a group is a return to adequate compensation and some of the more ridiculous aspects to be ironed out. We don’t want to go to court with the government, we aren’t asking for more, we are asking for what we used to have.”

The rally will take place at the Remembrance Cenotaph – next to the Legion on Thursday at 11 a.m.
